feat(sway): non-XF86 alternatives for media/hardware keybinds
Every sway action that was reachable only via an XF86 keysym now has
a Super-based alternative, so all bindings work on keyboards without
a multimedia row.
Frequent (direct binds, vim-direction layout on Super+Ctrl):
Super+Ctrl+k/j = volume +/-
Super+Ctrl+space = play/pause
Super+Ctrl+l/h = next/previous track
Super+Ctrl+]/[ = brightness +/-
Rare (submode 'system' via Super+x; one letter runs and exits):
b bluetooth · w wifi · r rfkill · s suspend · d display
v pulsemixer · k KEYBINDS viewer · m mako history
Escape/Return exits
Existing Super+m / Super+Shift+m / Super+Shift+s already covered
mic-mute / sink-mute / lock; XF86 binds untouched so the laptop's
Fn-row keeps working. KEYBINDS.md updated.
